This document discusses components and considerations for clinical information systems (CIS). It describes the common components of a CIS including electronic medical records, clinical data repositories, clinical guidelines, and decision support tools. It outlines important factors to consider when implementing a CIS such as cost, safety, security, education and training for staff. Selection of a CIS requires involvement from clinical and administrative staff and should be based on how it improves patient care and integrates with existing systems while protecting privacy. Ongoing support is also essential during and after implementation.
Electronic health record powerpoint assignment for informaticsMichaelina Alexander
The document discusses the electronic health record (EHR) and its benefits. An EHR centralizes a patient's medical records including diagnostic tests and treatment history and allows any healthcare provider secure access to this information. This ensures providers have complete information to aid in diagnosis and treatment. EHRs help reduce medical errors, streamline care, and empower patients by allowing some to access and contribute to their own records online. While privacy is a concern, laws aim to protect sensitive health information and only grant access to authorized individuals.

PSEDM 2019: Thyroid cancer among FilipinosCeciliaJimeno
This document discusses thyroid diseases and malignancies in the Philippines. It provides epidemiological data on thyroid diseases and cancer incidence and mortality rates. It finds that 9% of Filipinos have goiter and 9% have thyroid dysfunction. Thyroid cancer is the 7th most common cancer in the Philippines. Factors that predict malignancy in Filipino thyroid nodules include hard or firm texture, microcalcifications, and irregular margins on ultrasound. Recurrence rates after surgery for differentiated thyroid cancer in the Philippines are high at 33% for papillary and 29% for follicular thyroid cancer.
This study investigated the association between specific periodontopathic bacterial infections and hypertension (HT) in male cardiovascular disease patients. The study found that:
1) The probing pocket depth was higher in elderly male HT patients compared to non-HT patients.
2) Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Prevotella intermedia were more highly detected in male HT patients compared to non-HT patients, particularly in 61-70 year old and 71-80 year old male groups respectively.
3) There was no significant difference in bacterial detection or antibody levels between HT and non-HT groups in female patients.

Background : Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection which is one of the most important cause of mortality & morbidity in critically ill patients. In this study clinical profiles of the sepsis patients admitted in ICU in this part of India have been evaluated. Methods & Materials: This prospective hospital based observational study was undertaken in the department of Emergency Medicine ICU of Gauhati Medical College & Hospital, over a period of one year from August 2014 to July 2015 after obtaining institutional ethical committee clearance.
RESULTS: Clinical profiles of 50sepsis patients, with male preponderance (56%) & mortality rate 36% were studied. Mean age was 48.36 years (SD ±17.16). fever & tachycardia were present in all patients. 30 patients (60%) required ventilatory support, 28 patients (56%) required inotropic support, 10 patients (20%) required dialysis. Gram negative bacteria were found to be the predominant pathogens associated with sepsis(73.4%) where most common organism responsible was Klebsiella (36.8%). Conclusion : assessment of clinical signs & initial serological & radiological investigations are of utmost importance to detect more critically ill patients as early as possible to intervene earlier for saving the life of the sepsis patients.

The document discusses innovations in dialysis treatment and whether investing in new dialysis technologies is worthwhile given limited resources. It provides evidence that newer dialysis membranes, higher convection volumes, and modalities like hemodiafiltration can reduce mortality rates and cardiovascular complications compared to conventional hemodialysis. However, the high costs of new technologies must be weighed against the evidence of clinical benefits and potential survival gains. Overall, the document analyzes whether further investing in dialysis innovations is justified to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

The Finnish Biobank Act is Unique
• Registration of biobanks, wide consent and protection
of participants
• Transfer of existing sample and data collections to
biobanks
• Possibility to recontact
• Possibility to collect samples and data from the health
care
• Collaboration with industry

Power of a
Genetic
Isolate
Specific damaging genetic variants become enriched and
easy to discover
Reconstructing genomes of Finns (’imputation’) from
inexpensive genotype data is much more accurate than
in the rest of the world
